Re: Rubber rejuvenator? any suggestions
Either WD-40 or water+soap. About WD40 curing arthritis I don't know (although if I ever develop arthritis, I'll let you know), but it saved my wife's cell phone's touchscreen after it got sprinkled with wall paint.' "But the salesman said . . ." The salesman's an asshole!'

Re: Rubber rejuvenator? any suggestions
Replacing the part is perhaps the best in many circumstances, but sometimes one should actually work instead of switching out some Lego pieces.
There are many clients that do not have service contracts rendering indiscriminate replacement(s) not viable. Why does everyone seem to default to replacing parts as if they are free in this forum?
Okay...
Yes, if one were to bathe rubber in alcohol for extended periods of time it would probably cause issues, but the way I see it, it works very well for cleaning purposes. And I believe that the damage would be so microscopic its not even worth consideration.
Maybe we can take a tip from the Romans and start cleaning with urine: cleaning

Re: Rubber rejuvenator? any suggestions
Put your heart to rest,....simply use Water & soap. There's a powder detergent here on our market called 'OMO', manufactured by the internationally renowned Dutch company ' UNILEVER'. Mildly dissolved in water it does wonders on the rubber feed tires, as well as the plastic covers. A few years ago a chemical in a pressurized container, labeled 'Contact Cleaner' invaded our local market here. It was really good. It was a PHILLIPS brand from Netherlands. We could even use it to clean dusty Sensors, optical rails etc. It was selling like 'hot cakes', much better than the WD-40. Then the unthinkable happened! The product disappeared from the shelves for sometime, and when it 'came back' on the market it was not the the same PHILLIPS contact cleaner we knew, but its Duplicate or possibly even Quadruplicate with NO clear label of origin. This did us great damage. You could spray it on the sensor or rubber tires at your own peril. We resorted to the WD-40 instead, its good for removing dry joints & squeaking noise in machines. I now mostly use nothing but water with mild detergent or soap.Comment

We have Omo here, it's a detergent used to hand wash clothing. It's not practical to carry it around, but I'll probably try to carry a small bottle with water'n'Omo and see how it fares...' "But the salesman said . . ." The salesman's an asshole!'

Re: Rubber rejuvenator? any suggestions
You are right to say it's not practical to carry it around. What I normally do is to 'pre-mix' the two to form a weak solution in a separate bowl and then pour in a small bottle. make sure the omo is completely dissolved, with little or no particle seen in the mixture. (Warm water quickens the dissolution process). Apply on apiece of lint-free cloth to clean the rubbers, after this you may also need to 'rinse' with clean water damped on a separate piece of cloth. For cleaning the external covers, you may need to increase the concentration of the solution. Good Luck.Comment

Re: Rubber rejuvenator? any suggestions
You use rubber rejuvenator to clean people? Any specific people, or just people at random? What sort of reaction do you get when you clean these people? Do they like it? I don't think that I would. Maybe after I'd just done a fuser rebuild ...Originally posted by miteshaegis
It doesn't much sound like you're in the copier business. Maybe theater or show business? This is a strange compulsion, to clean other people. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
